The following took me 3 hours:

- Remove battery
- Remove and swap IC pipes (EvoX to RA parts)
- Remove and swap intercooler (EvoX to RA)

I recently had to take it in to the dealer, so I had to go through the reverse of this process again.

Comparison of T1R's funnel and the stock RA:
The aftermarket "funnel" doesnt have a place for the boost line to go like the stock one does. What do u do with the line that goes in the stock spot?

Yeah I c it now. Do all aftermarket uicp come with the nipple. The reason I ask I was looking at different uicp and the discription of the synapse one says "The Synapse UICP retains the OEM turbo discharge pipe and maintains the OEM boost-only source fitting to connect to the wastegate for a much more stable boost control source. Competing designs require elimination of this crucial component requiring the use of vacuum for wastegate and boost control. This leads to potential variances in overall system performance. The OEM wastegate's diaphragm is not designed to take vacuum (negative pressure) and can lead to diaphragm failure and a system vacuum leak that will be difficult to troubleshoot." If they dont come with that my understanding of what the discription is saying is that you run the vaccum hose that normally goes there to a different vaccum source.
